Abstract: A detachable stand for supporting a golf club in situ includes a triangular shaped bracket member pivotally supporting a spring clamp adapted to clamp the shaft of the golf club at a location that will support the club in an upright position. The spring clamp allows the player to select the angle of the shaft relative to the player's stance. Once the club is in the upright position and aligned by the player while standing over the ball the stand allows the player to release the club and walk away to observe the selected alignment from different positions.
